mouth (S13 T81N R1E Clinton Co.) to confluence with unnamed tributary in S9 T81N R2E Clinton Co.
Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Clinton County.
Basis for Assessment
Used a review of the field sheet from the September 1991 DNR stream use assessment in Clinton County to continue to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to indications on field sheet of above average quality of aquatic habitats due to diverse substrates and presence of several pool/riffle sequences and due to lack of significant impacts to the physical characteristics of this stream. Information on the fish community (6 cyprinid species) is believed incomplete due to difficulty of seining rocky substrates. The data upon which this assessment is based are more than 5 years old. Additional monitoring is needed to better determine the status of the aquatic communities and habitats and to provide the information for developing an accurate assessment of the degree to which the Class B(LR) uses are supported.
